Mass shooting

Mass shootings (that occur in public locations) are usually committed by deeply disgruntled individuals who are seeking revenge as a motive, for failures in school, career, romance, or life in general.^[1] Additionally, or alternately, they could be seeking fame or attention,^[2] and at least 16 mass shooters since the Columbine massacre have cited fame or notoriety as a motive.^[3] Fame-seekers average more than double the body counts, and many articulate a desire to surpass "past records".^[3]
